Self-expandable Metal Stent as a Bridge to Surgery for Colorectal Cancer: Safety and Oncological Outcomes.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
aimSelf-expandable metal stent (SEMS) as a bridge to surgery (BTS) for obstructive colorectal cancer (CRC) raises concerns regarding the short-term as well as oncological outcome. The present study aimed to investigate the safety of SEMS placement and risk factors of worse short-term and oncological outcomes as BTS. PATIENTS AND
methodsTwenty-four patients with obstructive CRC who underwent SEMS placement as BTS were included. Success rate of SEMS placement and 2-year relapse-free survival (RFS) rates in stage II/III BTS patients were assessed.
resultsTechnical and clinical success rates for SEMS placement were 100% and 87.5%, respectively. In Multivariate analyses, longer tumour length, longer interval to surgery, and angular positioning were risk factors related with the complication of stent placement. Two-year RFS rates were significantly higher in the no-complication than in the complication group (100% vs. 75%, log-rank test, p<0.01).
conclusionA long tumour length, long interval between SEMS insertion and surgery, and angular positioning of the SEMS were identified as risk factors for SEMS-related complications. Moreover, SEMS insertion and/or surgery complications were associated with worse oncological outcome in CRC patients.
